In famine years, the whole country is hiding from drought corpses. I have space and I am worthy of i

If just being a drought corpse is enough to make people despair, God is not open now, and spring and March will be as hot as summers in previous years. If this continues, this year's drought will definitely be over soon. This drought spreading across the country is really no joke.

Rich families fled with their grains, grain shops and rice shops were closed one after another to become self-sufficient, there was not much grain stored in granaries everywhere, and now there is still porridge and rice soup hanging on the lives of the people, which is a blessing among misfortunes.

Backing the mountain village.

March is supposed to be a busy time for spring plowing, but now the fields are full of weeds.

After a winter of accumulation, the weeds have grown amazingly and are green. However, no one is in the mood to appreciate such beautiful scenery. They are almost dead and the rest is empty.

In previous years, the diligent farmers would have started weeding the fields early to prepare for planting crops. But now, they cannot even leave the house and can only look at the fields they depend on for survival and lament every day.

But the nature of farmers is to plant, and wherever there is soil, everyone will not let it go. In addition to doing the housework every day, the villagers also turn over the soil in the yard in front of and behind the house and plant some vegetable seeds.

After breakfast, everyone was covered in sweat. Those who came into contact with the female body yesterday had chest tightness all day long.

There were occasional thin dark clouds in the sky, but they were quickly blown away by the wind, and there was no sign of rain at all.

It was at this time that the people within the county walls finally couldn't stand it anymore and rushed out of the city walls when the soldiers guarding the city were unprepared.

"Come back!" the soldiers yelled, but those people who were already hungry and crazy would not listen. It happened that a few dry corpses rushed out in front of them. Those people did not stop doing anything, and even before they died, they wanted to Get rid of the stuff in front of you.

So they directly struggled with the Dry Corpse. Whether it was because they were too resentful before their death or because they still had the belief to live, they actually worked together to kill a Dry Corpse in an instant.

The corpse's neck was broken and it fell limply. Seeing this scene, the soldiers on the city wall were instantly inspired to fight. They stood on the top of the wall and shouted for the people below.

The more they fought, the braver they became, and they actually killed four Dry Zombies in a row. However, the Dry Zombies a hundred meters away from the city gate seemed to have heard the call and rushed towards them one by one. No matter how strong they were, they could not deal with them at the same time. There were so many Dry Corpses, and for a while, there were screams outside the city wall. After a while, several people were torn apart by the Dry Corpses. They didn't even give them a chance to turn into Dry Corpses, and only the bloody bones were left.

Rao is so. This scene also planted seeds in everyone's hearts. If one day really happened, they would be like those brothers and take away a few dry corpses before they died to avenge those dead relatives and friends.

The county magistrate stood on the wall and was also shocked by this scene. He was speechless for a while and could not calm down for a long time.

After a long while, he said: "After the dry corpses leave later, pick up the bones of these people and bury them properly."

"Yes, sir." Several soldiers responded.

The magistrate returned to the study on the city wall.

"Sir, there is an urgent report!" The master held a secret letter in his hand and handed it to the county magistrate.

The county magistrate did not shy away from him and opened it directly to read.

After reading it, he slammed the desk hard.

"These bastards, now that the imperial court is still here, they dare to do evil under our eyes! They still want to set up their own business, what a wishful thinking."

"Sir, please calm down. We must investigate this matter first and then think of a plan to deal with it," the master said.

"That's right." The county magistrate sat back in his chair dejectedly, "Everywhere is severely weakened now. If they really start a rebellion, there's nothing we can do."

"But sir, we are so far away from the capital. The letters have reached us. I think the capital must also know about it. Maybe the officials of the imperial court have been prepared for it. "Well, you are right, Beijing. This matter is beyond our control. I will write a secret letter later. You find two people with strong martial arts skills and ask them to send the letter. Remember, let them save their lives first, and they must come back safely. "

"Yes, my lord."

The county magistrate sat next to the desk and was silent for a long time, and finally sighed.

Although the emperor does not have the ability to govern the world, at least he has not made any serious mistakes. Besides, there is a Wei family army behind him. As long as he reigns for one day, the world will never be in chaos.

But the current situation is really too chaotic.

If these rebellious ministers and traitors were really allowed to become emperor, they would not be able to survive.

The county magistrate rubbed his eyebrows and felt a splitting headache.

At this time, a female voice came from behind him, "Sir."

The magistrate turned around and saw his wife standing behind him holding a bowl.

"The city tower is dangerous, what are you doing here?" the county magistrate asked displeasedly.

"I made some tonic soup for you, please drink it while it's hot."

"Nonsense, the people are starving to death right now, and you are still making soup for me. Where are you doing with their lives?"

The woman was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then lowered her head in grievance.

The county magistrate saw this and had no intention of blaming her anymore. After all, she was also thinking about herself.

He took his wife's bowl, drank a few sips, put it aside, and continued writing paperwork.

"Go out. Don't come to the tower if you have nothing to do."

In response, the woman took the bowl out of the door and closed the door for him.

The magistrate put down his pen, leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes and meditated.

......

That night, the county's mansion where grain and grass were stored suddenly burst into flames, which scared everyone to death.

Seeing their lives being burned, many people rushed in to put out the fire without hesitation. Many went in, but few came out.

"Sir, the grain storehouse is on fire!"

"What! How could there be a fire!" The county magistrate sat up from the bed in the study and got dressed in a hurry.

At this time, the government servant outside the door hurried over and reported: "Sir, someone reported that someone secretly set the fire. Now the fire has been extinguished and burned most of the food."

"What!" The county magistrate's face suddenly drooped, and his energy was instantly drained.

If he had sent more people to guard the door, maybe such a thing would not have happened to the granary. His face was ugly, and he gritted his teeth and asked: "Who deliberately set the fire? Investigate, we must find this person out."

The county was in chaos, the granaries were burned, and the people were in panic. No family in the county slept well that night.

The next day, the county magistrate reported the matter to the neighboring county.

In Kaoshan Village, Shen Nan discovered a problem. There seemed to be fewer Dry Corpses wandering around during the day, and they were all blue-gray Dry Corpses. No green-skinned Dry Corpses were seen.

She took Xiao Ye to collect hay in the mountains. She decided to burn down Grandma Zhao's house tonight. She couldn't let Shen Jianshuang run into the village and harm everyone.
